The Reverend W. S. Mowery of Tipp The Reverend W. S. Mowery of Tipp
City, Ohio, reports the following: On City, Ohio, reports the following: On
August 17 at 9:30 p.m., he was traveling
north on County Road 61 just north and
east of the Dayton (Ohio) Municipal east of the Dayton (Ohio) Municipal
Airport when a large and bright yellow
light crossed the highway directly ahead light crossed the highway directly ahead
of his car. It was at about 45 degrees
elevation and appeared in about same elevation and appeared in about same
flight aititude as a plane coming in for
a landing at the field, but the speed and
direction of flight made the Reverend
question whether or not the craft could
land. The light was a bright yellow and
no other light was visible; it seemed to
be about six inches in diameter and as
it crossed the highway the Reyerend
could see the light reflecting upward
on the bottom of the object but eould
not see its shape or size. It appeared
to be just a flat, dark object just above
and to the rear of the light.
The light was traveling in a northwest
direction on a perfectly flat course. It
was traveling so fast that Rev. Mowery;
could easily observe the light growing
smaller as it proceeded away from him
and within - matter of 10 seconds it
disappeared in the distance. The car
window was down so he checked for
sound and there was none. Rev. Mowery
asserts that he is familiar with jets and
other planes, but could find no explana-
tion for this object.
